3/5/2014 - KUNSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -- Wolf
Pack dentists and technicians visited a local orphanage to help promote
good oral hygiene for National Children's Dental Health Month, Feb. 27,
2014.
"I've met the caregivers at the facility and they are very nice," said
Staff Sgt. Min Hubbard, 8th Medical Operations Squadron dental
technician and trip coordinator. "It's nice to visit the often forgotten
and overlooked sections in society in order to show that we care and
hopefully instill in them proper oral hygiene habit that will last."
The Airmen educated the children on proper brushing, flossing and good
oral care habits to ensure healthy teeth for life. While the dental
clinic's goal was to promote dental health, they also helped promote
relations between the base and the local community.
According to Ilmaekwon orphanage representatives, the visit was
appreciated because their children learned different methods for
brushing and flossing from a trusted source.
The Wolf Pack dental clinic closed out Children's Dental Health Month
with the visit but hope to continue the relationship with the orphanage
and ensure, not only good dental hygiene of Airmen but also the local
community.
